James Walter Hubbard was elected Corporal of Company B, 9th Tennessee on formation of the unit in 1862, later elected Captain prior to Shioloh. Capt Hubbard was mentioned twice in the dispatches, first at Perryville, and then at Chickamauga. He was wounded badly at Perryville, and limped for the rest of his life. After the War, he returned to civilian life, moving to Texas where he farmed, taught school, and was a leading member of the democratic party. He died in 1927, his obituary can be found in the Confederate Veteran Magazine. I may be a Colonel, but in my family, Great-grandfather Hubbard is known as 'The Captain'.

John was wounded in the head, shot through the hand, and was severely wounded in the leg at the battle of Chickamauga, Georgia. John was born in Montgomery County, Tennessee on Sept. 16, 1839, a son of John and Nancy Bell and grandson of old Hugh Ferguson Bell and Mary Montgomery of Montgomery and Robertson Counties. His younger brother, Hugh Ferguson Bell, served with the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry under Forrest and Wheeler. When John's father died in Dickson County in 1850, he and his siblings went to live with relatives at Union City in Obion County. After the war, he moved his family to Rector, Arkansas where he died on June 13, 1921. He is buried next to his wife, Sarah E. Wallis in Woodland Heights cemetery at Rector and has both civilian and Confederate gravestones. He drew a Confederate Service Pension from the state of Arkansas.
